Illustrate a correct separation scheme to isolate your molecule (2,6-dimethyloct-2-ene) from the provided second molecule. Make sure to indicate the phase of each chemical in every step (s, l, g, aq) and write the separation technique used in each step (ie: vacuum filtration). The list below gives the reagents available in the lab. Use any of the reagents below to isolate the compounds. Remember that the simplest separation scheme is the best one. Try to avoid unnecessary steps. · 10% aqueous NaOH · H2O · 5% aqueous NaHCO3 · H3PO4 · 6M HCl · anhydrous Na2SO4 · 5% HCl · anhydrous MgSO4 · Diethyl ether (ether) · Saturated NaCl · CH3OH · Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) · lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) · NaCl solid
